You're clearly a tough man to please.

And OF COURSE you know 'Just An Illusion' - although to save face you'll probably 'meh' it too.

You don't say.

Such a brilliant track!

It's a total choon! Such a cool groove to it, and the original song is awesome. Would be great if FP played here soon.

Did you hear the Yam Who rework of 'Wax the Van'? I was really tempted to play it but I was worried it was way too cheesy-house. I think it's awesome though.

Is that an edit of the version that's on the Soul Jazz comp? I like her vocals, even though they're a bit childish at times. For some reason I think my fave version is the Yam Who one...it's the reverb on her vocals that gets me, I think...and the cowbelly sounds.

(oops, sorry for taking over this thread btw)
